COACH ADAIR SAYS
"Agnes will bring an inside presence and a championship mentality to our team. She has the ability to dominate inside and her face-up game will allow us to play her in various ways. She has an knack for rebounding and I absolutely love her competitive nature. Like classmate Brynn Wade, Agnes is flat out tough and is a great addition to our team and family.
WHY DELAWARE?
"I chose the University of Delaware for its excellent academic programs, a wonderful coaching staff and, most of all, for my future teammate who made my visit such a memorable one. I knew Delaware was the right place for me the moment I stepped foot on campus because it was so easy for me to fall in love with the environment and the people around me. I was welcomed and I felt loved. In that moment, I knew I was home."
